Do you own a system equipped with a GTX 1060, or do you intend to purchase a completely new setup?
I own a PC equipped with a GTX 1060. The current configuration includes an AMD FX-8350 processor, a GTX 1060 graphics card, 6GB of RAM, a 24GB memory module, a 1TB hard drive, a 250GB SSD, and an ASUS M5A97 PLUS motherboard with a 500W power supply. For upgrades, I need to consider replacing the motherboard and CPU since my current setup already supports the highest performance this GPU can handle. I'm looking to find the optimal improvements around my existing GTX 1060.
seems quite promising at first glance. I’m not sure about the case yet, so I’ll look into it. If you can afford to upgrade to a 3600, go for it. Once you move from your 1060, you’ll get better performance with whatever GPU you pick.
